Can run up to 852km, first real car exposure of Zhijie RX: The most direct rival of Xiaomi YU7 is about to debut.

Fast Tech News on July 27th - Hongmeng Zhixing's all-new sporty SUV, the Zhijie RX, has been captured in real-life images. Based on the photos, the shooting location is inside Chery's super factory.

The leaked Zhijie RX features a silver-gray paint finish, looking highly premium under the lighting. Details include a long front end, black sporty wheels, and bright yellow brake calipers.

Unlike the family-oriented Zhijie R7, the RX clearly follows a sporty FUV (Fun Utility Vehicle) path, with a style similar to the Xiaomi YU7. The two are bound to become direct competitors.

Based on the registration information and official images, the RX adopts a new design language. The front end remains closed but removes the through-type light bar. The left and right headlights are independent, housing both high/low beam sources and a smart driving small blue light. The small blue light is located at the "corner" of the headlight and can achieve a "blinking" effect, which is indeed novel.

The RX completely abandons the One-Box design philosophy, no longer prioritizing cabin space. The long front end swoops forward and downward at a sharp angle, complemented by muscular bulges on both sides and well-defined lines, creating a strong dynamic effect.

The new car measures 5020mm in length, 2007mm in width, and 1600/1585mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3000mm. It is positioned as a mid-to-large SUV. Wheel styles vary, ranging from 20 to 21 inches. It also features functional air vents on the fenders, semi-hidden door handles, and a camera mounted on the B-pillar.

The rear design inherits the Hongmeng Zhixing style, especially the through-type taillight, which features a starry-sky visual effect when illuminated, offering high recognition. The car is also equipped with a roof spoiler and a rear-facing solid-state LiDAR.

This model will debut Huawei's new-generation high-performance electric drive, available in rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The rear-drive version features a 277kW motor; the all-wheel drive version adds a 160kW front motor.

All versions come equipped with Huawei's Giant Whale battery, available in two capacities: 81 kWh and 100 kWh, corresponding to LFP (lithium iron phosphate) and NCM (ternary lithium) chemistries. Range options are 702km, 852km, and 753km.
